Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Oral:  The LD50 value of the test material was established to be 1720 mg/kg bw.

Dermal:  The acute dermal toxicity study with 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance caused no mortality in rabbits and therefore a LD50 of > 5000 mg/kg bw was derived.

Inhalation: A study was scientifically not necessary since data for two other routes are available

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In the acute oral toxicity study with doses of 1050, 1640, 2050, 2560 and 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance, a LD50 of 1720 mg/kg bw was derived.
Executive summary:

In an orale acute toxicity study, 50 rats were orally exposed once with the test substance at concentrations of 1050, 1640, 2050, 2560 and 5000 mg/kg bw and were observed for a period of 14 days (similar to OECD 401). The LD50 value of the test material was established to be 1720 mg/kg bw.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal toxicity study with 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance caused no mortality in rabbits and therefore a LD50 of > 5000 mg/kg bw was derived.
Executive summary:

In an acute toxicity study, 10 rabbits were dermally exposed once with the test substance at a single dose of 5000 mg/kg bw and were observed for a period of 14 days (similar to OECD 402). No mortallity was observed during the test. The LD50 value of the test material was established to be > 5000 mg/kg bw.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
discriminating dose
Value:
5 000 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:
Experimental study similar to OECD guideline 402.

Additional information

Acute toxicity: oral

In an orale acute toxicity study (1973), 50 rats were orally exposed once with the test substance at concentrations of 1.05, 1.64, 2.05, 2.56 and 5.00 g/kg bw and were observed for a period of 14 days (similar to OECD 401). The LD50 value of the test material was established to be 1720 mg/kg bw.

Acute toxicity: inhalation

The study does not need to be conducted because data for two other routes are available.

Acute toxicity: dermal

In an acute toxicity study (1973), 10 rabbits were dermally exposed once with the test substance at a single dose of 5.00 g/kg bw and were observed for a period of 14 days (similar to OECD 402). No mortallity was observed during the test. The LD50 value of the test material was established to be > 5000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008


The available experimental test data is reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data on acute toxicity via oral and dermal route, the test item is to be classified in category 4 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the fifteenth time in Regulation (EU) 2020/1182.
